European Film Festival comes back to Morocco


Morocco will host the 22nd edition of the European Film Weeks from 4 to 12 March in Rabat and from 6 to 14 March in Casablanca, with 8 European art films. The event will open with 'Reality', by Italian director Matteo Garrone (Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012).

According to the Enpi website (www.enpi-info.eu), by choosing to show demanding, personal and high-quality movies, the European Film Weeks have imposed themselves over the years as an event with a rigorous editorial line, which is appreciated by a great number of Morocco film-lovers.

The European film weeks, one of the most tangible cultural symbols of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership in Morocco, has been organized in Morocco every year since 1991 by the Delegation of the European Union, in collaboration with the embassies and cultural institutes of the EU member states, under the aegis of the Ministry of Communication and in partnership with the Moroccan Cinematographic Centre.

The EU also funds a regional programme, Euromed Audiovisual, which aims to contribute to intercultural dialogue and cultural diversity through support to building cinematographic and audiovisual capacity in the region.
